I don’t know the dosage for Rosie, but there will be others along that should be able to help you. Do you know her weight?

I'm not sure about her weight she is tame enough to pet and eat out of my hand but she won't let me hold her so I don't think I could get her on a scale she's average size not overweight but not thin either

Bump! Dose Amoxi. Do you have a picture of her that some one could estimate her weight with? If you do please post it.

Yes, a picture of her whole body for us to guesstimate her weight.
It almost looks like something is broken there. Do you think this is an abscess? If so the
best drug for that is Clavamox or Augmentin.
How old is she?

Rosie is eight years old and I would guess an abscess verses being broken because she can walk on it and climb trees with no problem I can try to get some clavamox from vet but it's a long shot because they only treat domestic animals I'm trying to post pic but keep getting error message so ill keep trying

I'll send you a pm with my email address and you can email me the pictures.
We can start her on the amoxi, and I will mail you some Clavamox tomorrow, if
you want, just pm me your name and address.

Here are Rosie's pictures.
I have guesstimated her weight at 500 grams,
(that's probably a little on the low side)
and sent dosing instructions for Amoxi for that weight.
Will put some Clavamox in the mail tomorrow. :Love_Icon
